Going Single & more, a big project has finaly begun... w/lots of pics
 

Last years project wasn't delivering much, I rebuilt my twins succesfully, ported the wastegate and converted to full non-seq. mode getting rid of lots of hoses and solenoids, air pump etc..., but I got tired of the lagginess of the non-seq. setup so I decided to go single since my beatifull wife :angel: gave me one of the best Valentines gifts a man can get, a dual ball bearing RX6B kit.

Once I got the kit, I took of the compressor housing and polished it, now since I never polished before the job is not the best ever but is pretty acceptable, see pics below.

Since I started polishing I thought some more sh*t under the hood can use the bling-bling factor the turbo got, so I decided ti polish more stuff like:
UIM, TB, Alt., FMIC piping, AST, Tork brace etc...

Also I'm gonna send all the pulleys to Powder coat to a guy here in the forum (Nappy94), btw I got a UR p/s pulley from optionimports.com for $101.15 which most places sell it for $149.00+ .

I also made a FMIC Chiller hoop from a 3/8 brass tube, which is gonna be connected to the winshield washer fluid bottle to spray water to the IC at the same time as the water/alc injection comes online @ 10 psi, so the IC chiller will be connected on the same relay.

Within this project I'm throwing in a new 255 walbro fuel pump and relocating the fuel filter on the engine bay for easyer future access, someone tell me if this is bad to do & why ???

OK nuff said, check out some of the pics I already took.

What size Co2 bottle are you using and how long does it last?

No Co2, I will be using water from the windshield washer bottle, I don't want to go that advanced, just water simple... more detailed in the first post /\ up /\

sweet what brand water injection are you running?

No brand name, I custom made it w/new parts from all over...

cool

I tried the water thing man, it doesnt work that graet. It makes a big mess tho. Use CO2;)


Good job on the polishing. I tried polishing for my first time whei a 6" pipe. It took forever, and I dont want to do it again.

You have alot of patience polishing the UIM:bigthumb:

Thanks

I'm gonna try water for now and than in future might consider Co2, thanks for the heads up.

Nice book PERVERT ;) J/K

Hahahhaha, btw that book was signed for me by the MAN himself, Hugh Hefner :D .

Just for shits and giggles, do you mind showing how the airpump might fit with that single turbo kit. I'm curious to see.

looks great, post some final pics when it's all in the engine bay

And you are using it to lay parts on? :p:

As a matter of fact my air pump is long gone, last years project.




Thanks, I sure will, my plan is to finish by the end of this month, will see.




hahahaha, I guess a bit, even though I love this book and shouldn't of used it for laying shit on.




:peace:

Looking good!

Thanks.

OK, I just did the greddy elbow also, this one didn't need sanding, Thank GOD. :bowdown:
